Episode Title: S1:E3 You Are What You Do Consistently — Not What You Do Occasionally

Podcast: The Well: Pep Talks & Reflections

Host: Elle Woodworth, RD

Episode Description

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your “all-or-nothing” approach to health, this episode is for you.

Inspired by Aristotle’s famous words, “We are what we repeatedly do,” Elle shares why consistency—not perfection—is what truly shapes your habits, energy, and health. You’ll learn why occasional effort isn’t the problem, why big overhauls rarely stick, and how tiny, repeatable actions build real, lasting change.

In this episode, you’ll discover how to create habits that actually fit your life, even on your busiest or messiest days.
